Overview

The Internal Revenue Code allows taxpayers to exclude gain when they sell their main home. To qualify for the maximum $250,000 exclusion of gain ($500,000 if married filing jointly), taxpayers must meet the eligibility test. They can also qualify for a partial exclusion if they meet certain requirements. This program is a comprehensive survey of the various tax issues associated with the sale of a residence.

Panelists are subject to change.

Major Topics:

  • Does a home qualify for the exclusion of gain under the eligibility test of §121?
